1. Don't ask for much, do you?

Well, just looking at the source, it seems to be busting out to line breaks (<br />'s) at the end of every paragraph, so you're not going to solve this through CSS. If I had to guess, its that you have a windows machine (I'm right aren't I?). Here's why I think this: windows does a dreaded \n\r at the end of every line. Most operating systems just use the new line character (\n) to end a line, but windows is stupid and does a new line/carriage return. Both, however, will be treated as a line break, hence the 2 <BR>'s after a paragraph. Either switch to an editor that doesn't generate multiple line breaks (there are some for windows, notepad might work) or tell the blogger not to convert line breaks, and instead just put <br>'s yourself at the end of your paragraphs. Either way, that's why you have that problem.

You'r profile container problem is more complex. There you are running up against CSS (formatting language) and layout issues. That's a pain and will take some work. I don't envy you there, especially as you are basically dealing with someone else's code (and near as I can tell, if someone else wrote it, it always sucks).

Good luck.

PS.
It's gotten rather chilly up here, hasn't it?
